Dave Chappelle Turns Charlie Kirk’s Murder Into a Joke
Dave Chappelle joked about Charlie Kirk’s murder at Madison Square Garden, four years after Kirk defended him following an onstage attack.
Dave Chappelle told a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd that he felt better after Charlie Kirk was murdered. He got laughs and some applause. Four years ago, when a man rushed Chappelle onstage, Kirk was among those who came to his defense. (The Daily Wire) Funny how things have changed.
Chappelle was wrapping up his “Karmageddon” tour in New York this weekend when he brought up Kirk. He started by saying it was scary to be a public speaker. Given what happened to Kirk and what had happened to Chappelle himself, he had the makings of a worthwhile observation. Here’s where he took it:
“Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly but…. I feel better.”

The part that makes the clip so ugly comes after “I feel better.” Chappelle tells the crowd he’ll be out driving and catches himself wondering, “Why am I in such a good mood?” He leaves them a beat to supply the answer themselves.
Go back to Chappelle’s Netflix special last December, and you hear him working through a different thought. The shooting had shaken him. He knew what it was like to stand in front of a room full of strangers and make a living by talking, and it was easy for him to imagine being the one up there. He also brushed off the comparison to Martin Luther King Jr., calling it “a reach.”
That microphone at Utah Valley University was there for the people who wanted to challenge Kirk. At his campus events, you could turn up thinking the Turning Point USA co-founder was wrong about everything and still get a chance to tell him so. He was taking questions when he was killed in September 2025. He was 31.
Earlier Sunday, Stacey Matthews reported that sponsors were pulling away from “I’ve Had It.” Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan had laughed on the podcast at a post suggesting somebody dig up Kirk and shoot him again. At the Garden, Chappelle had a live audience, and they laughed, too.
Erika Kirk has two children who will grow up without their father. She brought them up in her response to the people getting laughs out of how he died.
To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our…

Kirk could have gone about his day when a man rushed Chappelle. Instead, he stuck up for a comedian whose material was bound to offend somebody. Anyone who hated the act could get up and leave. Kirk expected them to let Chappelle finish it. Four years later, Chappelle was still up there, free to say whatever he liked. Listen to what he chose.

Ive called him out before as the white mans guilt trip
I hope Chappelle’s good karma takes a crap on him. He has shown the world what he really is. A hard up comic trying to make a buck off Kirk’s death.
I use to love Chappell but after I heard this today
Stick a fork into that racist Muslim bastard
This country gave him everything, and he is dead to me
Never heard of the idiot. Hope never to, again.
Very sad to see some dishonor the fine work of Charlie Kirk not just in traveling to Campuses and speaking to younger Citizens but in taking the issues and concerns raised by those young Citizens seriously, not ignoring them or dismissing them but bringing those very real issues and concerns to the attention of the ‘leaders’ and wider population of ‘our side’. I really believe if Charlie Kirk hadn’t been assassinated then perhaps he could have helped to mitigate the damage we saw in the midterms b/c the loss of his trusted voice among the leaders of ‘our side’ about what younger voters believed seemed to coincide with the loss of any focus on this demo.
These fascists — Chappelle is only one of way too many — are as disgusting and anti American as it gets. Liberals are filled with hate and sick fantasies. I should feel sorry for them, as their braindead evil is so unhealthy, but I can’t.
You can’t be they literally want to murder us
And have
Perhaps we can all have a laugh or two after someone puts a bullet in him. It doesn’t have to kill him. It can just be a flesh wound.
Philly “peaceful” bike riders to celebrate
The boycott drew sharp criticism for taking place on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
they claimed that was just a coincidence and probably would also claim that the showers they led the j ews into used poison when they meant to only use soap
and this absolute lie!!!!
“the demonstrations remained physically peaceful.”
at least 3 arrests were made and their pics /videos of not so physically peacefuL
but the real stars of the shows ARE THE PRO JS WHO CAME OUT AND REFUSED TO BACK DOWN TO THE BLMPLO ARMIES
fox29:
The controversy began when a group known on social media as “Philly Bike on Your Left” posted a flyer calling for a boycott of six Jewish-owned businesses in the area, labeling them “Zionist establishments” and calling for them to be gone. In response, a massive community food crawl was organized, resulting in lines that wrapped around city blocks.
What a wicked piece of excrement. Chappelle converted to “Submission” — his newfound callousness and cruelty make sense, in that context.
It’s entirely too short a clip to provide the context I would need to judge — and that’s a red flag to me, because of the way that tactic has been carefully abused in the past, but… are we 100% sure he isn’t making THIS joke?
In other words, he’s relieved it wasn’t him?
Non-political, non-judgmental, and deprecating nobody but himself… for his ghoulish relief?
Show me 45 seconds on either side of that clip, and I may change my mind. Or perhaps you will.
Your link doesn’t work
How weird. It still works in my browser, but I see it doesn’t in a different one. Must be a cookie in the first browser, set because I originally traveled through the containing page, which is:

what a contrast between the two–kirk, a man of principle, open to ideas and opinions, discussion, peaceful debate–who lived his life by what he believed, by what mattered to all of us–personally brave and daring in his efforts to engage people–to help us see, to reach out, to connect, to understand–an asset to our country–mourned and admired by millions–a tragic loss indeed
and chappelle–a b-list entertainer of dubious ” talent “–who has performed widely, has his fans and followers but would wager few will give the slightest damn when he’s gone
You are giving him exactly what he wants. Clicks and engagement….that’s the only reason for this. His star had faded, and he wasn’t being talked about enough in the press.
